I’m not 100% but once hitched there is almost always like a $25 drop fee

The 7-11 tow truck charges $200+ to drop the car and it's completely illegal.

This is the kind of stuff I’m talking about.
I’ve gotten lucky a number of times, once I got to my car right before it got hooked up in the lombardy Kroger parking lot, and the tow truck driver told me, “if I was 30 seconds late, it would’ve cost me $175 to get my car back”
Who knows what their bosses tell them, but a lot of these guys will convince you it’s too late

They can't tow a car with someone in it. So if they try to charge more jump in and call police.

That's not true. Had a friend jump on a tow truck to get his bike out of the back seat while it was moving. Seiberts dont give a fuck.

It is true legally.
Also, you're not really describing the situation I was talking about. And your friend wasn't too smart for jumping on a moving vehicle. That driver was a dumbass if he didn't stop.

As I said seiberts do what they want, legality doesn't matter.

Tow truck drivers don't fuck around, they know all the tricks, and they're armed.

In the city of Richmond, it's no more than $40 per ordinance. They're allowed to charge you that much but no more.
